Chicago has a 2-11 alarm with defensive ops @ 6341 North Broadway.

OK thanx, somehow I really screwed it up.

Somehow I posted in my copy of Ops Guide that those two companies received 2024 RM's.

What about 5 and 62 for 2024? Or am I wrong?

I know it has been brought up and discussed several times before but when, and if, will the FDNY feeds on OpenMHZ be back up and running. All 5 boros and a possible city-wide. By the way I understand Boston PD is going encrypted soon, if not already, hope FD stays on clear air.

Thanx for this, I use it to update my Ref Ops Guide. Is there one coming for engine companies?

Firefighters in Lawrence MA are battling a fifth alarm fire in several residences and a restaurant. Responding crews to 324 Lowell Street found fire in a 2 1/2 story building and the fire quickly escalated to a third alarm.

It shows last transmission 7/25 @ 2:24AM.

Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2 has reached a tentative contract with the city after a 4 year standoff. The executive board has recommended ratification. However there are comments on FB indicting displeasure with it. Will try to keep the site up to date on this. I am not affiliated with CFD...

Gary firefighters were hampered by a lack of water supply, the fourth alarm was for tankers.

When they were converted back to 100' aerials the 144' ladders were sold to Chicago.

On August 2, 1858 the Chicago City Council authorized the formation of a paid department. First company organized was Engine 1 @ the City Armory at Adams and Franklin. They moved to a new house at 121 N LaSalle on December 25th. House was destroyed during the great Chicago Fire of 1871.

I remember this, there is a lot more to the story than just the clip from CBS. Joe Green, a WBZ news helicopter pilot had landed on a nearby building and also tried to help. Yes it was a bad day.

OK thanx, you are not alone then!

Did you ever solve that problem? I have the same situation, sometimes it advances and transmits, other time it just advances and there is silence.
